I just started using the Aardvark I2C/SPI Host Adapter and I heard that batch scripting is supported. Can you show me examples of how to do this?  I’ll be working with I2C devices.

Thanks for your question! The Control Center Serial Software supports XML-based batch scripts, which you can use with the Aardvark I2C/SPI Adapter. With this feature, you can create, run, and save custom batch scripts to automate your tasks.  The scripting language supports I2C, SPI, and GPIO functions.

See show how to perform batch scripting in this video:

We also have a couple knowledge base articles that you may found useful – they provide realistic examples with detailed steps:

• Programming I2C EEPROM using Aardvark Adapter and Control Center Batch Mode
• Performing random reads with an I2C slave

For details about the batching language, please refer to Batch Instruction Commands in the Control Center Serial Software User Manual.  Additionally, example XML batch scripts are available in the download directory of the Control Center Serial Software.

Additional resources that you may find helpful include the following:

We hope this answers your question. If you have other questions about our host adapters or other Total Phase products, feel free to email us at sales@totalphase.com, or if you already own one of our devices and have a technical question, please submit a request for Technical Support.
